Abstract
In this paper, we discussed what kind of city is the ideal city where a company harmonizes with a community through an international comparative study of two typical automobile industry cities in Japan and Germany, Toyota and Wolfsburg. Furthermore, we discussed that, in order to build this kind of city, what kind of roles for the company are expected from the community when considering the company as a corporate citizen. Here, the comparative study was implemented on the basis of the different backgrounds, such as a difference of industry structure and a difference of the view of the land use in the two countries. As compared with Wolfsburg, since urbanization and motorization advanced very quickly in a short time period, Toyota City is thought that planning consideration was not completed. From now on as a corporate citizen, the company is expected to participate in city planning positively and contribute to the community so that to realize the harmonizing society.
